This is my darling Chloe (aka Clovis).  She is so very special to me.  She is the softest, most loving, but naughtiest little cat ever.  She’s a little princess, and she knows it.  She gives me looks such as the one in this photo, and she knows she’ll get whatever she wants.  She has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia.  However, if you ask her, the only way she’s “different” is that she’s more spoiled than her big brothers!!

This photo of my wee-one, Merlin, was taken when he was just a kitten. He is
still quite inquisitive, as is apparent in the photo, head slightly cocked,
staring into the camera. This part of his personality definitely HASN’T
changed and makes him the loveable and playful cat that he has grown into.

He was a new addition to my life Jan 08′ and has made everyday better than
before. I was adopted when I was young so, it was especially fulfilling to
adopt him from my local animal shelter. I guess it was my personal way of
“paying-it-forward”

Both he and I were SUPER excited to come across the litter disposal system.
We live in a loft and it is way more convenient not to have to walk all the
way to the dumpster every night. Giving us better air quality and more time
to spend having fun together.

Thank you again for such an innovative design,

It’s puuuuur-fect!!

This is a photo of our five-year-old Silver Tabby Persian named Baxter. Baxter spent most of his young life in and out of the vet’s office, sometimes in critical condition. After a lot of excellent vet care, lots of love, and a good deal of money, he is now a happy, healthy kitty, enjoying life with his two “sisters,” Carmela and Cece. As confirmed pet lovers, we feel that it was well worth the effort. You can see from this picture that he likes to “push the envelope.” Hope you enjoy this photo.

Hello. I recently purchased the Lucky Champ Litterbox for a newly adopted 2 cats with cerebellar hypoplasia. This is a neurological disorder that’s also known as Wobbly Cat Syndrome. I’ve found the litterbox works extremely well for Flurry, as its wide and sturdy enough to not tip over when he uses it and the lower end allows for easy access in and out for him. I actually took photos and posted the litterbox on a CH Kitty support group.

Thank you for such a great product!

Although not totally natural, most cats seem to be born with good litterbox instincts. Even so, there are a few specific things you can do to improve your chances of never finding urine or feces in the middle of your Persian Rug.

Regardless of the size of your cat, get (or make) the biggest litterbox you can fit into your home. Cats love to have room to walk around, roll over, stretch, and scratch before they get down to serious business. A big box with lots of headroom is nearly always more inviting than a short, cramped container. Think Executive Washroom versus Honey Bucket.

Don’t be afraid to try different litter types. The most popular forms are the fine-grained clumping litters, the natural source litters (wheat or corn cob), and those produced from recycled papers. The least tolerated are any litter type with perfumes, scents, or other chemical additives, so try to avoid those if you can.

Just as in Real Estate, location is paramount. High traffic areas of the home are seldom a good choice, nor are rooms with loud noises like laundries and kitchens. Cold, cement floors leading to a litterbox are also a major turn-off for cats. Quiet, yet easily accessible are the goals to keep in mind at first. Feel free to experiment with more than one litterbox (in different parts of the home) for a period of time, to see if your cat displays a definite location preference.

In general, anything you can do to make the litterbox more attractive to the cat will go a long way in helping your pet to establish good habits, and keep your home clean.

Congratulations on your new acquisition; you will certainly enjoy your time together! If you have never cared for a cat before, don’t worry too much, it is not difficult, nor is it time consuming. There are really only three major areas to focus upon:

First, be sure to offer top quality food (both canned and dry forms) that is specifically formulated for your cat’s age. Feed kitten food to young cats, adult food to middle aged cats, and a geriatric formula to older cats. In most circumstances, the more expensive the food is, the higher the quality, so stick to the name brands that cost a little more; it will be a much healthier diet.

Second, although not completely instinctual, cats tend to be pretty knowledgeable about what to do within the litterbox. Try to establish the largest, most ventilated litter area that you can in your home. Cats generally prefer the soft, sandy, clumping litters (without any perfumes or odor enhancers) inside of containers with high walls and plenty of head and legroom. Don’t be shocked if your cat likes to roll around in there when it’s clean; that is perfectly natural.

Third, don’t even think about using a telephone book or some Internet service to locate a good veterinary facility. Ask your friends, your co-workers, your family, and even that pet crazy neighbor across the street for advice on a good doctor. After a couple dozen replies, you will note that the same 3 or 4 names keep popping up. That is now your short list of potential veterinary advisors, and you need to visit their offices and see if you like the care they offer. Every part of the world has different types of diseases, parasites, and environmental factors that could affect your cat’s health, so you want to develop a relationship with a veterinarian that you can communicate with to help you do your best to prevent those disorders common to your region.

Providing excellent nutrition, clean living space, and top-notch veterinary care are the most important things you can do to help your new pet live a full and long life.
